Falcon Rest Mansion & Gardens的点评
点评:We were looking for a place we hadn’t been 2/3 of the way to Lynchburg from our house. I saw the Falcon Rest Mansion. It looked interesting.
After researching a bit, I booked a room. We had the honeymoon suite which used to be the kitchen of the mansion. The room was quaint with gas fireplace to warm. I felt like I had stepped back in time. Nestled under the covers, we were plenty warm despite the 20° temperatures. The bed should probably be replaced as it is soft and lumpy. The bathroom was toasty and had a large claw foot tub.
The room came with microwave, refrigerator, and coffee. It was conveniently hidden so as not to take away from authentic feeling. They do have TV and Wi-Fi for those who need modern comforts.
We booked a tour of the mansion. Great history but more impressive restoration work. The owners give the tour and have done almost all of the work themselves since they bought it in 1989. It is true labor of love and they have done great. It was decorated very nicely for Christmas. Sadly no pictures allowed inside.
The gardens are nice to walk through even in rain and flurries. If you are lucky, you will encounter the sweet feline Charlie who lives next door.
There is an event space which would be ideal for small wedding or family reunion or work celebration.
翻译:我们想找个离家三分之二路程外的林奇堡小镇,找个之前没去过的地方。我看到了猎鹰休憩庄园(Falcon Rest Mansion),觉得挺有意思。
稍微研究了一下之后,我订了一间房。我们住的是蜜月套房,以前是庄园的厨房。房间古色古香,还有个燃气壁炉取暖。感觉像是穿越回了过去。虽然气温只有零下7摄氏度,但钻进被窝里感觉很暖和。床有点软,而且凹凸不平,可能需要换一下。浴室很暖和,还有一个很大的爪足浴缸。
房间里有微波炉、冰箱和咖啡机,位置很隐蔽,不会破坏那种古朴的氛围。当然,他们也提供电视和无线网络,满足那些需要现代设施的客人。
我们预订了庄园的参观行程。庄园的历史底蕴深厚,但更令人印象深刻的是它的修复工作。庄园的主人亲自讲解,自从1989年买下庄园以来,几乎所有的修缮工作都是他们自己完成的。这真是倾注了他们全部心血和爱,他们做得非常出色。圣诞节的装饰非常漂亮。可惜的是,室内不允许拍照。
即使下雨或飘雪,花园也适合漫步。如果您足够幸运,或许还能遇到住在隔壁的可爱猫咪查理。
这里还有一个活动场地,非常适合举办小型婚礼、家庭聚会或公司庆典。
